Käbi - an original name, meaning cone
Lemm - also, meaning love
in Old Estonian Lembi (love, Finnish Lempi), now female name,
corresponds to a modern noun Lemb and that has obviously been the
basis for the name searched.
Õie - Flora, Fleur, Blossom
Enn and Indrek are both variants for Hendrik/Heinrich/Henry etc.

Hej Caprice,

I'm sorry, but the only name I know is Indrek which is an Estonian form of Hendrik, a variant spelling of Henrik.
